Yarn should do more than just look and feel beautiful—it should do good.
While we are committed to delivering high-quality fiber yarns, our product also represents much higher value: supporting the communities from where the materials originate. That is why a portion of every purchase made will go back to Peru, supporting local farmers and assisting children with their need for a better education system.
Every purchase you make does so much for these agrarian communities:
supports education
sustains local farmers
creates long-term jobs
Together, we can weave a story of empowerment, opportunity, and purpose—one skein at a time.
Why we support local textile manufacturing
It may not seem like much to be the recipient of a skein of yarn. But to the many skilled laborers involved in the process of producing it, your passion is their livelihood. From the Peruvian alpaca farmers who have cared for their herds for generations to the expert craftsmen who spin and dye the fibers into yarn—your purchase creates and supports jobs.
The process of acquiring alpaca fibers is not as simple as shearing and then shipping it. There are multiple steps in between. Once collected from the alpacas, the soft fiber materials need to be sorted, picked, cleaned, and scoured before it’s then spun into yarn and then dyed. At each individual step, skilled laborers are employed to process the fibers with care.
Even just one order of yarn provides the demand to justify these job positions. That means that these hardworking craftsmen can earn a living wage while doing what they love.
Supporting education in Peru
Poverty in these rural communities is a hard barrier to break, especially when it becomes a generational lifestyle. Education is the key to breaking this cycle. While there are public schools in these communities, they lack the necessary funding and resources to provide a beneficial learning environment to these children.
After our time helping the people of Peru and seeing first-hand the struggles they live with on a daily basis, we wanted to find a way to help them. That is why for every skein purchased, a portion of each sale will go towards the funding of school supplies and a child’s education in Peru.
However you decide to use our yarn, understand that you’re helping kids gain the access they need to quality education, brightening their future.
